This seems oddly intentional from the code. It always seems to base the recurring date off the different between the _current_ date and today:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-local-dates/assets/javascripts/lib/local-date-builder.js.es6#L55](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/plugins/discourse-local-dates/assets/javascripts/lib/local-date-builder.js.es6#L55)

I tried changing this in the code to be `localDate.datetime` and the output was correct in the browser but 4 tests failed. It seemed they were ensuring it works this way, so now I’m wondering if I’m missing something @j.jaffeux? Recurring should be after the date you entered not the current date right?
